GLEN ROSE, Texas – New dinosaur tracks were discovered at a Texas state park last week after a year of excessive drought.
The tracks, which date back to 113 million years ago, were discovered at Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, southwest of Dallas.
“Most tracks that have recently been uncovered and discovered at different parts of the river in the park belong to Acrocanthosaurus,” a Texas Parks and Wildlife Department spokesperson told KSAT. “This was a dinosaur that would stand, as an adult, about 15 feet tall and weight close to seven tons. Sauroposeidon, the other species that left tracks behind, would be about 60 feet tall and weigh about 44 tons as an adult.”
